The Machine
My name's Luce I know
Brunet I know
I'm twenty years old I know
From Perpignan I know
Single for three months
Poked 223 times I know
I often come home around 4
I collect flowery knickers I know
Tell who told you that
All these details about me
We don't even know each other
Ah ah ah aahhhhh
But who has taken my identity from me? The machine
Has transformed me into a file? The machine
How can we return to reality? The machine
It's too late you are trapped inside the machine
But who has taken my identity from me? The machine
Has transformed me into a file? The machine
Give me back, give me back my personality! The machine
It's too late no one unplugs the machine
You will never escape me
Abandon all hope
Prisoner, damned
Carved in my memory
I know what you consume
Each time that you tap in you code
Think of all the stupid things
That you could have posted on your blog
When your telly is on
When you think that you're watching it
It's me that's watching you
Sprawled on your sofa
I am in GPS
Telephones and 3G
I know what you are doing
I even know what you will do afterwards
Tell who told you that
All these details about me
We don't even know each other
Ah ah ah aahhhhh
But who has taken my identity from me? The machine
Has transformed me into a file? The machine
How can we return to reality? The machine
It's too late you are trapped inside the machine
But who has taken my identity from me? The machine
Has transformed me into a file? The machine
Give me back, give me back my personality! The machine
It's too late no one unplugs the machine
My name's John I know
Berger I know
I'm fifteen years old I know
I live in Caen I know
In a relationship with Sandra
Even if I've only seen her three times I know
I get up around seven
To talk to her on messenger I know
Tell who told you that
All these details about me
We don't even know each other
Ah ah ah aahhhhh
But who has taken my identity from me? The machine
Has transformed me into a file? The machine
How can we return to reality? The machine
It's too late you are trapped inside the machine
But who has taken my identity from me? The machine
Has transformed me into a file? The machine
Give me back, give me back my personality! The machine
It's too late no one unplugs the machine

Ah but we also use "carved in my memory' in English in the same way so the idiom is parallel. Or ''etched'' but that's not quite as common.
'Tap in' is also used quite a lot for entering data - ''I'll just tap in your details'' etc...
